Problem/Motivation

Some of the smallest font sizes in the views UI admin theme are too small for people with impaired vision to read (12px or less).
This is an accessibility issue and we should be aiming to keep font sizes at 1em or larger.
In addition, when text sizes get bigger in views admin, the drop buttons will get bigger aswell. The buttons are positioned fixed en therefore hide the title text on smaller screen sizes, this will get worse when button size increases.

Proposed resolution

Similar to how Seven's font sizes were improved in #2045473: Improve visibility of Seven's smallest font elements → , I propose we remove any styles reducing font sizes below 1em, whether this involves flattening the font size hierarchy remains unsure.
Position drop buttons differently within view settings form, using inline-block and float left. Make sure that the styling also works on smaller screens.

Remaining tasks

Identify font sizes smaller than 1em.

fix positioning of drop button on views admin screen.

The Seven theme has been removed from Drupal 10 core. However, this issue appears to apply to the Core Views Module no matter which theme is used.

Last patch #86 passed on 10.1.x and they are not targeting a specific theme.
Anyone, please review the patch.

Claro has overrides for this, which make the sizing dynamic, so the only way to see this is probably in Stark.

This isn't a WCAG SC, but still a good practice for readability.
